Nezi) York Belting & Packing Co. Limited. 

The Ke>v Vorit Belting Sc racUillS Co., Limited, 15 Park Row, are 
the pioneers in the manufacture of Mechanical Rubber Goods. The business was established 
at Boston, Mass., in 1846, soon after the world-famous process of vulcanizing india rubber 
was patented by Charles Goodyear, and from the outset the Company was favored with the 
great inventor's advice and co-operation. After a period of success in Boston, the business 
was moved to New York to secure the advantages offered by the metropolis. Several large 
factories are operated by the concern, two at Newtown, Conn., where a valuable water- 
power is owned, and a still more e.xtensive plant at Passaic, N. J. The wheels of all these 
factories are kept busy turning out the very highest grade of belting, packing, hose of all 
kinds, mats, tubing, bicycle tires, minor articles, and a widely known specialty, made by 
them exclusively, the Vulcanite Emery Wheel, the safest fast-running emery wheel known. 
A new bicycle tire of great merit, called " The League Tire," which has just been placed on 
the market, is meeting with pronounced success. 

The growth of this Company's business has been steady and sure, keeping pace with the 
development of the rubber industry, until at the present day their sales exceed those of any 
other individual concern. Every improvement in modes of manufacture has been adopted, 
and the high standard of quality consistently maintained has given to their products a repu- 
tation unexcelled the whole world over. Large quantities of goods are exported to various 
countries, in all of which their name is a guarantee of the highest excellence. 

While the Company are pioneers in the line, they have also occupied the position of 
leaders both in quality and quantity of business transacted, hence the propriety of the phrase 
which always accompanies their announcements — " Pioneers and Leaders." 

The salesrooms, at 15 Park Row, are directly opposite the Post-Office and the Astor House.

LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD. 

STATUE, BY BARTHOLDI. ON BEDLOE'S ISLAND, NEW-YORK HARBOR, 



The Standard History 
of the Metropolis. : : 

THE Mayor of New York City having read Dr. Parkhurst's letter 
commending Mrs. Martha J. Lamb's admirable " History of 
the City of New York," wrote to the publishers, Messrs. A. S. Barnes 
& Co., that he heartily endorsed Dr. Parkhurst's opinion of the 
book, a copy of which he jjossessed. Dr. Parkhurst said that the 
History has no rival. No work even approaches it as a text-book of 
information as to the history of the city. He holies that all citizens 
will own a copy of the work, so that they may the more intelligently 
comprehend what a responsibility rests upon them to treasure and 
guard its interests. In order that Dr. Parkhurst's hopes may be 
the better realized, the publishers reduced the price from I20.00 to 
$16.00. ('I"wo volumes, royal octavo, 1620 pages, 313 illustrations, 
cloth, gilt top.) People not New-Yorkers, but interested in the 
story of the Metro[)olis, will be glad to have this superb work in 
their libraries. 

OTHER TESTIMONIALS. 

" Mrs. Lamb's work is built on a solid 
foundation which guarantees to it a secure 
place in the historical collections of the 
aye." — Iribttne, N. Y. 

" Mrs. Lamb's ' History of New York 
City ' should be in the library of every old 
New-Yorker." — Sun, N. Y. 



The late historian, Oeorge Bancroft, 
wrote: "Mrs. Lamb's is, in my view, by 
far the best history of the City of New 

York." 



The l;)te distinguished Hon. (ieorj-e 
William Curtis wrote: "It is rich with 
information, and the interesting story was 
never so thoroughly and satisfactorily told." 



The poet, Stednian, writes : "It is abso- 
lutely sure of a reading and a reputation in 
the distant future." 

"A piece of historical painting which for 
brightness of color, distinctness of outline 
and general truthfulness of detail, deserves 
the highest commendation." — Harper^ s 
Magazine. 



" As to all that belongs to the past this 
record ofifers a mine of varied, interesting 
and authentic information indispensable to 
the student." — The Nation. 

" It will be a desirable addition to private 
and public libraries in all parts of the 
country." — Chicago I'ridune. 

" It was full time that a faithful picture 
of New York should be written. Mrs. 
Lamb's style is pleasant and remarkably 
concise. "r-i(>«r/<'« Academy.

John Osborn, Son & Co. 



A RECORD OF SIXTY YEARS. 



[Sketch from "King's Handbook of New York City."] 

JOHN OSBORN, SON & CO., gener.il merchants, have offices at 45 Beaver Street. 
The house is a very old one. John Osborn came to New York from Oporto, where 
he had a commercial house, and established himself in January, 1836. Some years 
later he took his brother Robert into partnership, under the style of John and Robert 
Osborn; the place of business being at m Wall Street. In 1854 John Osborn erected 
the building which they now occupy, then in the center of the dry-goods trade. A year 
or so later the trade began moving farther up town. About 1856 the firm removed to 
45 Beaver Street, and a year later the firm was dissolved by the death of Robert. John 
Osborn continued under his own name. In April, 1869, he associated with himself his 
son, Francis Pares Osborn, and Timothy Stevens, under the co-partnership name of John 
Osborn. Son & Co. The firm had business relations with foreign countries (partic- 
ularly with Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal), and continued until May 16, 1869, 
when it was dissolved by the deith of John Osborn. Immediately a co-partnership was 
formed by Francis Pares Osborn, Timothy Stevens arid Mary C. Osborn, to contiune the 
business under the same style. There was no change in the "personnel" until May i, 
1875, when the co-p;irtnership was dissolved. Then a limited partnership was formed by 
Francis Pares Osborn as general, and Mary C. Osborn as special partner, to continue the 
business under the name of John Osborn, Son & Co. In 1876 a branch house was opened 
in Montreal, the head office remaining in New York. On January i, 1884, a new limited 
partnership was formsd between Francis Pares Osborn, Charles Spencer Osborn, William 
Osborn, Robert A. Osborn, and Mary C. Osborn, to continue four years under the same 
name. This partnership was renewed in January, 1888. On December 28, 1891, Mary C. 
Osborn, the special partner and mother of the general partners, died at her home on 
Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, where she had lived for forty-two years, and which was the 
birth-place of William and Robert A. Osborn. On March 13, 1892, the senior partner, 
Francis Pares Osborn, died ; the firm, however, being a limited partnership, continued. 
In May, 1892, the firm established a Western Department, with offices at 52? and 523 
Monadnock Block, Chicago. On December 31, 1892, a new firm was formed under a 
general partnership, composed of the remaining partners, Charles Spencer Osborn, William 
Osborn, and Robert A. Osborn, under the same style of heretofore. On May i, 1893, 
owing to increasing business in the Western Department, and to offer better facilities to 
all friends who might visit the World's Columbian E.xposition, the Western Department 
removed their offices to the Auditorium Hotel Building, on Michigan Avenue, where they 
have large and spacious offices on the ground floor, giving them better accommodations 
to do their increasing business, which is making Chicago the distributing point of the 
West; also in 1893 the firm opened an office in Philadelphia. On November 15, 1894, Charles 
Spencer Osborn retired from the firm. Among the agencies which this firm has control of 
in its wine and spirit department is that of the old and well-known brand of Piper-Heidsieck 
Champagne. For years they have imported only one grade of Champagne, namely Piper- 
Heidsieck, "Sec," but this year, considering that American connoisseurs are demanding 
also a Brut wine, they have been induced to import a real Brut, known under the name of 
Pieper-Heidsieck, Brut E.xtra, which is pronounced the highest grade of real Brut that is 
known on this markei. During the many years which this firm has been in existence it has 
had business relations with all parts of Europe, the South American Republics, and the 
West Indies, importing and e.xporting the products of these countries, as well as doing a 
banking business ; and the reputation and high standing of the house are well-known 
throughout the world.

Cements, and produce the most durable work. It is unalter- 
able in volume, and not liable to crack. The foundations of

THE CUTLER PATENT MAILING SYSTEM 



Or U. S. Mail Chute, has become a necessity in office buildings, 
hotels and apartment houses. Installed in such buildings under 
explicit authorization and a special order of the Postmaster 
General, making the Mai! Chute a part of the receiving box, 
etc., it is an integral and most valuable part of the postal system, 

available not only for correspondence 
but for the service of legal papers 
which can be mailed. Limited in its 
use to such structures as are arranged 
so as to comply with the necessarily 
stringent regulations of the Post Office 
Department, and in locations where 
the additional collections are possible 
with the carriers available, the system 
can be offered only subject to official 
approval. This apparatus may be said 
to have revolutionized the collection 
service, as it is in general use in more 
than one hundred cities of the United 
States, and in the City of New York- 
alone in about one hundred of the 
representative buildings. Among these 
are the Manhattan, Equitable, Mutual 
Life, Metropolitan and others of the 
great insurance buildings ; the Waldorf, 
Holland, Fifth Avenue and many others 
of the leading hotels. 

The Elevator made high buildings 

possible — the Cutler Patent Mailing 

System has enabled the Post Office 

HOW IT LouKs. Department to collect their mail. It is 

manufactured under the Cutler series of patents exclusively by 

The Cutler Manufacturing Company of Rochester, N. Y., to whom 

those interested will do well to apply for further information.

First Mortgage Loans on improved Real Estate of 

any Li/e Insurance Coiitpany in the World. 



The holdings of most Life Insurance Companies (at 
a time when losses on railroad, industrial, and manufact- 
uring' securities have reached Thousands of Millions), con- 
trasted with the first Mortgage loans of the Washington 
on real estate, give force to this Official Endorsement by 
the Hon. Superintendent, after an exhaustive examina- 
tion of the Company : 

" /;" is most agreeable to me to know that your Company 
discloses a most excellent condition of affairs. ^^

t^Ejai- 




TriE OLD UNITED STATES rfOTEL, 

OF BOSTON, 

has maintained its RESPECTABILITY AND EXCELLENCE. 

Originally the largest Hotel in Boston, it has been twice 
enlarged years ago, by the extensive wings on Kingston and 
Lincoln Streets, named respectively Oregon and Texas. 

During the past five years it has been under the management of 
Mr. TILLY HAYNES, of Springfield, Mass. 
who has completely renovated, enlarged and improved the prop- 
erty, and last year added still another hundred rooms, by building 
across from Texas to Oregon. 

Think of a Hotel from Texas to Oregon, and you will understand 
why this notice is written which is to say that the UNITED 
STATES recommends itself for its quiet, orderly management, and 
the notable character of its guests, its numerous public rooms and 
grand old parlors, broad halls and numerous stairways, while none 
of its 500 Guest Rooms are above the fourth floor. 

These, with its very central location, its most excellent 
I I / table, and moderate charges, recommend it to all who 

1/ A/ have once shared its hospitality.

A SUGGESTION 

TO 

EVERY 

NEW YORKER 

When a visitor from any city, especially from abroad, comes to your office 
or to your residence present him, with your compliments written in the front, 
with a copy of " King's Handbook of New York City." 

Its cost to you is a mere trifle, but the recipient will appreciate it for a 
lifetime. 

While \our guest he will look over it and gain more information and in- 
terest in your city than you can take time to give him in several hours. 

When he has gone home he has an exhaustive souvenir of everything that 
he saw, and all that he failed to see, while on his visit. 

Imagine yourself in London, or Paris, or Yokohama, and a friend kindly 
gave a book with 1029 pictures showing every important feature of every kind 
within its borders, embodied in lOoS pages of text interestingly and thoroughly 
describing every phase of the city's life and its institutions, could you fail to 
be gratified? All this is found in " King's Handbook of New York," and 
besides its arrangement by topics in thirty chapters, it has at its close an elab- 
orate detailed index of 72 columns with about 5000 distinct references. 

And besides the gratification and appreciation of your guest or visitor, 
every New Yorker can find in "King's Handbook" enough to make him 
feel proud of the city within which he resides and of which he is a part. 

No other city in America and only a few cities in the world can make the 
showing that New York can. 

No city in the world has ever been so minutely described and so thoroughly 
illustrated as has New York in this " King's Handbook."

" There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which as much 
happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn." — Dr. Samuel Johnson. 



The first section of this book con- 
tains illustrated announcements and 
descriptions of 4.OO interesting and 
famous hotels, in almost every country 
of the world. Most of these are ac- 
companied with pictures of the hotels. 

The second section of this book is 
made up of a singularly interesting 



list of 3000 notable hotels on all the 
continents, addingalso the populations 
of the cities, from latest censuses, and 
other practical notes, including the 
rates at the hotels. This is the most 
comprehensive, important and valu- 
able list of hotels ever made, and will 
be of great value to travelers, and of 
peculiar attractiveness to others.

Where'er his stages may have been. 
May sigh to think he still has found 
The ivarinest •welcome at an inn."

NO. 52 WALL STREET. 

Note.— In Ihe Directors' Room of the New York Life Insurance & Trust Co. in the white marble building, 
No. 52 Wall Street, there is, in an excellent state of preservation, the corner-stone of the once powerful United 
States Branch Bank, which formerly occupied this site. The great institution which owns and guards this corner- 
stone is virtually the oldest and strongest of the Life Insurance and Trust Companies, so many of which have be- 
gun and prospered since this Company was chartered in 1830. Its first President was William Bard, an enthusias- 
tic advocate of life insurance and also of corporate, in place of individual power of trusts, annuities and other 
kindred interests. This Company declines all corporation or other public trusts, and accepts only private trusts 
created by will or otherwise, grants annuities, manages property as agent for owners, allows interest on deposits, 
and is a legal depository for executors, trustees, and money in suit. The officers are

THIS and ANOTHER. 



THIS BOOK, "King's Photographic Views of New York," 
has no descriptive text, but 

ANOTHER BOOK, 'King's Handbook of New York Citv," 
has 1008 pages of carefully prepared text, minutely describ- 
ing the whole city, bringing before the reader, in words and 
pictures, the story of the great Metropolis. 

IF THIS BOOK pleases you by reason of its pictures, 

THEN THE OTHER BOOK will also please you, for in 
"King's Handbook "you get 1029 illustrations, besides its 
1008 pages of text. 

YOU SEE THIS BOOK is worthy of a life long preservation, 
for its pictures of to-day become of great value as the 
never-ceasing changes are taking place, and yet it is of no 
such value as "King's Handbook." 

NOW SEND FOR THE OTHER, for when you see it you 
will never part with it for anything like its cost. It is 
worth its cost at a single evening's entertainment, when you 
are alone or when you have company to entertain. It has 
a great value for the present and a still greater value for 
the future.

The Imperial Insurance Co. Limited, of London 



The Imperial Insurance Compan}', Limited, of London, England, is one 
of those old and staunch foreign corporations which have become an absolute 
necessity for the protection of losses against fire in this country. The Im- 
perial is over ninety years old, having been instituted in 1803. It is. with a sin- 
gle exception, the largest purely fire-insurance company in Great Britain ; and, 
without any exception, it has the largest net surplus of any English insurance 
company doing a fire business. At home it is esteemed as one of the strongest 
and most successful of the insurance corporations. In this country, since its 
establishment in 1868, when it opened its office in New York, it has made a 
record which places the LTniled States branch on an equal footing with the 
best American companies. In this country its gross assets are $1,847,271, 
which includes the reserve of $905,078 for unearned premiums, $£41,931 for 
unsettled losses, and $37,458 for all other claims, leaving a net surplus in the 
United States of $762,804. It has paid the colossal sum of $65,oco,ooo fcr 
losses. 

The General Manager of the company is Edward ("ozens-Sniith, who has 
liccn at the head of the company's affairs for over twenty years. The 
managers of the Metropolitan District are J. J. Courtney and John R. 
McCay, a firm composed of two experienced and energetic underwriters. 
Mr. Courtney has been connected with the Imperial for twenty-nine years, 
eighteen of which were spent at the company's head-offices in London. Mr. 
McCay has been the representative of the Phcenix Insurance Company of 
Martford for twenty years. 

Besides having the management of the Metropolitan Distiict for the 
Imperial they are also managers of the New England and Middle States 
department of this company. The}^ also have the management for the 
Metropolitan District of the old Phoenix of Llarlford, one of the staunchest of 
the American insurance companies, and also of the Lion Insurance Company 
of England, another of the great English fire corporations. Their offices are 
in the Imperial Building, at 3r and 33 Pine Street, a six-story, marble-front 
office-building owned by the Imperial Insurance Company, and well situated 
in what is regarded now as the insurance district. Th.e trustees of the 
Imperial in the LTnited States are Henry W. Cannon, President of the Chase 
National Bank; W. A. Read of the Banking House of Vermilye & Co., and 
R. L. Edwards, President of the Bank of the State of New York. 

The Imperial has, besides those mentioned above, the following depart- 
ments, viz.: Boston, John C. Paige, Manager; Chicago, Daniel C. Osmun, 
Manager; Atlanta, J. T. Dargan, Manager; San Francisco, W. J. Landers, 
Manager, and representatives in every nook and corner of the United StPtes, 
and throughout the civilized world.

The Northern Assurance Co. 

OF LONDON, ENGLAND. 



[A Sketch from "King's Handbouk of New York."] 

The Northern Assurance Company, of London, England, whose 
principal United-States office is at 38 Pine Street, New York, was organized 
in 1836, and commenced business the same year. Its head-offices are in 
London, England, and in Aberdeen, Scotland. One of the largest and 
strongest among the older British companies, it does business in all the 
civilized portions of the world, and is noted for its careful and successful 
management. The marvellous growth of the company appears in the record 
of its fire-premiums, which were $4,500, in 1836 ; $14,500, in 1840 ; $19,000, in 
1845; $40,000, in 1850; $276,500, in 1855; $607,000, in i860; $820,000, in 1865; 
$1,068,000, in 1870; 11,756,500, in 1875; $2,223,000, in 1880; $2,886,500, in 
1885 ; and $3,581,534, in 1893. In Great Britain the company does a fire and 
life-insurance business. In the United States its business is restricted to fire- 
insurance only. lis United-States assets, December 31, 1893, were $1,657,090; 
unpaid losses, unearned premiums, and all actual and contingent liabilities, 
$1,216,618. The company has, specially deposited with the Insurance 
Departments of the several States, and with trustees in New York, securities 
to the value of $1,350,404, none of which it may withdraw or remove while it 
has any existing liability in the United States. Since its organization the 
company has received in nre-premiums alone, $68,078,200 ; and paid in fire- 
losses alone, $40,255,246. It is represented in nearly all the States, cities, 
principal towns and villages of the United States and Canada. Its territory in 
the United States is divided into four departments: The New-York, Middle- 
States and Southern Department, the head-office of which is at 38 Pine Street. 
New York, and the Manager, George W. Babb, Jr.; the New-England 
Department, the head-office of which is at 27 Kilby Street, Boston, and the 
Manager, Howard S. Wheelock ; the Western Department, the head-office of 
which is in Monadnock Block, Chicago, and the Manager, G. H. Lermit ; and 
the Pacific-Coast Department, the head-office of which is in San Francisco, and 
the Manager, George F. Grant. The growth of the company has been steady 
and uninterrupted. It has established a fire fund co-extensive with its net 
surplus, to meet extraordinary conflagrations. No conflagration which can be 
considered possible could retard for a single hour the operations of the 
Northern Assurance Company. Its accommodations to its policy-holders, and 
its equitable and prompt adjustment of losses, have made it popular with its 
customers and agents. Its vast resources furnish certain indemnity. The cut 
on opposite page represents the Northern's graceful stone building, in New 
York, completed in 1889, and entirely occupied for its own use. It is at the 
heart of the "insurance district."

A FEW OPINIONS. 



" Mr. Moses King deserves the undying gratitude 
of the citizens of New York, and in fact of all persons 
who are interested in the prosperity of the great 
metropolis of the United States." — Illustrated Lon- 
don News^ I.ondon, England. 

"It is without a rival."— 77;c Evening Post, New 
York. 

'It keeps pace with the march of improvement 
even in busy New York." — Public Ledger, Philadel- 
phia. 

"Mr. Moses King is the handbook maker of the 
United States, and whatever he undertakes is sure 
to be done well." — The Boston Herald, Boston. 

"Not a dry page in the entire book." — Buffalo 
Enquirer, Buffalo. 

"A book that reflects credit on New York as well 
as on its author and publisher." — Enquirer, Cincin- 
nati. 

"Illustrated with a thousand reproductions of 
photographs, made especially for it, in which all the 
mechanical features are irreproachable. The thor- 
oughness of the information, the multiplicity of facts 
and figures, not easily accessible elsewhere, and 
the order and minute accuracy displayed in the edit- 
ing may well amaze one.'* — Chicago Herald,Chica^o, 

" It makes one feel in touch with the subtle in- 
fluences which go to make New York the metropolis 
of America."— Paintin!,r and Decorating: Philadel- 
phia. 

" A single reference led to a perusal of the book 
which occupied fully two hours. We need hardly 
say It was time well spent."— Insurance .'Ige, New 
York. 

" The original text was the painstaking work of 
many well known vin\.ers."—Jl'atchman, Boston. 

" As we advise every man to read up on physi- 
ology and ' know thyself,' so we may even say to the 
resident of New York, buy King's Handbook and 
know thy city." — Dr. Footers Health Monthly, New 
York. 

"The historical chapter, containing, as it does, 
reproductions of early maps and surveys, is in itself 
worth the px\ce:''— Business, New York 

■' Lifted above the level of the directory or guide 
book into the literary region without in any degree 
impairing its practical value." — Free Press, Detroit. 

" This is a remarkable and exhaustive account of 
the great metropolis. It gives a history of the past 
and IS a minute guide book to the present city, hav- 
ing over one thousand illustrations taken from pho- 
tographs made expressly for this work. No object 
of interest is passed by. It is a wonderful book, as 
the growth of the city "is itself a marvel.'' — Charles- 
ton (S. C.) .Vi'7r.r, South Carolina. 



Col. Robert G. In^ersoll says ; 

•' Your Handbook of New York is the best I ever 
saw of its kind. It is good enough for anybody and 
cheap enough for everybody. Every New Yorker 
ought to have a copy.'' 
Oliver Wendell Holmes says : 

" Your remarkable volume, ' New York City.' It 
is remarkable in many ways — for the vast amount of 
matter it contains, especially for the great number of 
excellent illustrations, and for the surprising reve- 
lations of the architectural wonders of the great 
city." 
Chauncey I\L Pepew says : 

"I have looked over it with great interest. It is 
the most valuable and comprehensive publication of 
the kind which I know of." 
President Eliot, of Harvard, says ; 

"I have placed- it in the college library. There is 
a great wealth of illustration." 
Rev. Dr. Francis G.Peabody says : 

"This superb Handbook of New York. I am 
amazed at the completeness and elaborateness of its 
work." 
Artemas Ward say: 

" The greatest Handbook of modern history." 
Librarian Saunders, of Astor l^ibrary, s^ys : 

" A very attractive and valuable work, for which 
you deserve a gold medal." 
Rev. Dr. George IF. Shinn says : 

" What a nohle book you have made ! It seems to 
me to be finer than anything I have seen in the way 
of such publications." 
Col. Thos. It'ent7t'orth'Higginson Sdiys: 

"It surely should be appreciated by New Yorkers, 
as it is their best bid, up to this time, for the character 
of a metropolis." 
Hon . John E. Russell says : 

•'It will be a monument to your skill and industry 
which will remain when the city has been again 
transformed by the inevitable growth of the country.'' 
Re7: Dr. A. H. Burlingham says : 

" They are immeasurably ahead, in way of accurate 
information, ample and beautiful illustration, and in 
fine execution, of any guide books I have ever seen." 
Rev. Dr. Andrew P. Peabody the venerable preacher 

to the University, just before his decease, wrote : 

" I have the greatest admiration for your ability, 
skill and enterprise. No man deserves success more 
fully than you, and if my best wishes could put a 
breath of wind into your sails, they would feel the 
breath. This ' New York book ' is a superb work." 
Chas. Turner Dazev, the poet and playwright, says : 

" It is no wonder that it has become a success, for 
it deserves success in every way."

THK 



Mutual Life Insurance Company 



OF NEW YORK. 



RICHARD A. McCURDY, 



President 



Assets Nearly ^200,000,000 



AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT 



The policies of The Mutual Like 
Insurance Company of New York are 
regarded by prudent and far-sighted 
men of affairs as offering the best 
form of absolutely secure investment 
not subject to tlie changes and vicissi- 
tudes of trade and commerce, or to 
fluctuations of market values which 
necessarily pertain to stocks and 
bonds. When the investor shall have 
reached old age, or in the event of his 
prior death, the sale of his property 
is not required in order to realize its 
value, for the reason that the contract 
itself immediately produces its value 
in cash at the time it is most needed 
to benefit those for whom it was ob- 
tained. 

If a man undertakes the purchase 
of property — be it houses and lands 
or personal estate — with the intention 
of gradually completing the purchase 
out of his future annual income, in the 
event of his death before his intentions 
have been carried out, he leaves, as 
the result of his efforts, a collection of 
incompleted assets burdened with 
debts and obligations, which if liqui- 
dated by a forced sale, frequently ne- 
cessitates a sacrifice of a large portion 
of the interests of the survivors. 

To an investment policy in the 
Mutual Life, and to A^o other form of 
recognized investment belongs this 



provision : the unpaid installments — 
which correspond to the incompleted 
purchases just referred to — are at 
once extinguished, and the contract is 

good for its entire face 
value without deduction. 

It becomes at once an unimpaired 
estate with a fixed future income for 
the family, without the risks and ex- 
penses of a settlement sale. To this 
form of contract, which combines all 
the best features of modern Life In- 
surance, with the additional advan- 
tages of creating in the future an 
interest-bearing capital as an estate 
for the maintenance of the family. 
The Mutual Life invites the attention

A Quaint and Valuable Book. 



WHERE TO stop: A GUIDE TO THE BEST HOTELS." 



Moses King, of Boston, has just added to his famous series of " King's 
Handbooks " a charming booklet entitled "Where to Stop : A Guide to the Best 
Hotels in the World." It is the most serviceable guide to the representative 
hotels of all the continents that has ever been published, for while oihers have 
published great hotel directories, or indiscriminately grouped hotels that pay 
for their notices, Mr. King's selection of the best hotels has been made 
regardless of payment. It has that practical and handsome makeup, combined 
with accuracy and trustworthiness, so usual to Mr. King's publications. It is 
practically a handbook of famous hotels ; and as such has a peculiar interest 
and value for all who travel by land or water. The first part of the book 
contains announcements and descriptions of 400 great hotels, each illustrated 
with a delicate half-tone picture. These cuts show nearly 400 of the foremost 
hostclries of the world, like the Fifth Avenue and Waldorf of New York; the 
Brunswick and Vendome of Boston; the Hygeia, the Ponce de Leon; the 
Auditorium, the Coronado, the Four Seasons, the Raymond, and the splendid 
houses at Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, Helena, Lookout Mountain, Long 
Branch, Luray, Monterey, the White Mountains, etc., etc. 

Here also are the very interesting pictures of the chief hotels of Cuba and 
Jamaica, of Mexico and South America, of the Bermudas and the Azores ; and 
a great number of British and French, German and Scandinavian, Italian and 
Swiss taverns, with several in North Africa, Syria, India and Japan. 

The second part of " Where to Stop" consists of a wonderful list of 3000 
notable hotels of the world, made up from the very latest authorities, and with 
the rates of board shown forth. This list includes every important city in the 
world, and the populations of these cities are given, as obtained from the 
recent censuses, American, British, German, etc. There are also a few words 
of comment in connection with each, giving the chief characteristics of the 
place. This singularly interesting list includes the hotels in India and Persia, 
Japan and China, South Africa and Egypt, besides the chief houses in Europe 
and America. The contemplation of their titles alone is full of varied sug- 
gestiveness and fascination; and the information conveyed is of practical 
value. 

" Where to Stop" is prettily bound in heavy pebbled, muslin-lined paper, 
with illuminated designs of travel-scenes. It will be sent, postpaid, on receipt 
of 25 cents, by Moses King, Boston.

(T AVE two colonial churches, MILHAU'S PHARMACY ALONE REMAINS PER- 

MANENT of thousands of concerns on Broadway since 1830. 

John Mii.hau, the founder of this house, was born in Baltimore, 1796, of French refu- 
g-ees, descended from very old families, who fled from the servile insurrection in St. 
Domingo at the time of the great French revolution, being robbed on the passage of their 
jewelry and valuables by corsairs who overhauled the vessel. On the death of his father, 
in 1813, he left college and launched into the drug business. He was too American to settle 
in France where his widowed mother went with her children on the restoration of Louis the 
Eighteenth, or to accept the unsolicited appointment of French Consul-General at Baltimore. 
He returned from his first trip, made for business and study, on the " Cadmus" with General 
Lafayette, a distant relative, who was making his memorable visit to the United States. 

In 1830, on his third trip to Paris, stopping at the mansion of his brother-in-law, the dis- 
tinguished Dr. Sue, the physician of the Empress Josephine and the father of Eugene Sue 
the novelist, he witnessed the uprising of the populace and the expulsion of Charles the 
Tenth. He at once determined to come back to his native land, though General Lafayette, 
who had been called to the head of affairs, entreated him to remain. Entrusted by the 
General with the government despatches, and with a safe conduct, he started for the United 
States via London. There he completed his purchases for this shop, which he fitted up on 
an unprecedented scale of magnificence, the first to have marble tiling. The infusion pans, 
counter scales and prescription balances were of solid silver. He had a bust made of Dr. 
Rush, of Philadelphia, the foremost American scientist of the day, to surmount the doorway. 
All else was in keeping. The New York College of Pharmacy, to which he was admitted, 
gave its first course that very year. He filled a prominent part, as the records shovv, in its 
determined, well-fought contest, when, with a backing of pharmaceutical and medical bodies, 
it procured the beneficent law of 1S48 that prohibits the importation of adulterated, deterio- 
rated, inferior or spurious drugs into the United States. He headed the suit in 1854 by which 
Sharp's Broadway railroad, whose franchise, a fraud on the city, obtained through ques- 
tionable legislation, was perpetually enjoined. This injunction was shamelessly circum- 
vented in 1886 through the boodle Board of Alderman. His eldest son, the late John J. 
Milhau, attained distinction as Surgeon and Brevet-Brigadier General of the United 
States Army. His only surviving son and partner, Edward L. Milhau, is his successor.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred a person 
buying a high class evening newspaper will ask 
for the MAIL AND EXPRESS. It prints 
the cream of the news daily, and all matter is 
carefully sifted by a corps of experienced news- 
paper men before it appears in its columns. 

The MAIL AND EXPRESS has a healthy, 
p"rowinir circulation, and the leading- evenino- 
newspaper is a welcome guest in the homes of 
New York's best citizens. It prints daily more 
interesting special features and catchy little 
departments than any newspaper in the metrop- 
olis, morning or evening. 

The advertising patronage of the MAIL 
AND EXPRESS is the most select. All the 
leading merchants of Greater New York use Its 
columns to make their wares known. 

■'^ It is the great home newspaper.

Over a successful business career of nearly forty 
years (in our building represented on the opposite

changes made both in this vicinity and through- 
out the city. We have kept pace with them, 
and ofttimes in advance, particularly in the 
manufacture of fine apparel, both made-to- 
measure and ready-to-wear. 

Our products equal the best, while our 
prices are less than usual for same qualities.

F. A. Rin<;lp:r, President. M. R, Brinkman, Vice-President and Treasurer 

G. J. Kraemer, Secretary. Jt'sti.x Rinoi.er, Manager. 



We manufacture plates for all printing and embossing purposes, from the 
finest photo-gravure down to the outline newspaper cut. Our prices are 
low, compared with the quality of work. Our processes are as follows : 

HALF-TONE PATENT PROCESS. 

The chief points of this process differ from all others, and are as follows : 
A negative of the painting, engraving, photograph or work to be reproduced is 
first obtained. As in any other branch of Photo-Engraving a picture in relict 
is then made by our new method on copper. The copper plate, being finished, 
is then covered with an infinitesimal coating of steel, by means of an electric 
current, so as to enable it to with.stand the wear of printing, and keep up the 
sharpness of the printing surface to an unlimited edition (patent applied for), 
as we are the only process engravers in the country that have applied the above 
method successfully. 

ZINC ETCHING. 

\V(i were the first establishment in this country that produced Zinc Etching 
Engravings for newspapers and commercial printing successfully, and by our 
electric light facilities we are in a position to turn out the work on time, as we 
do not have to depend on sunHght. When necessary it is possible for us to 
produce a cut from a pen and ink drawing inside of two (2) hours. The superi- 
ority as to a clean, sharp and deep line of these plates is generally acknowledged 
liy the press. All cuts for newspaper printing-, where stereotype plates are 
used, we suggest to have mounted on a metal back. 

PHOTO-ELECTROTYPING. 

This process is best adapted for the reproduction of book pages in all languages, 
also for reproducing large catalogues to a small pocket edition size. We are 
prepared to execute large orders at the rate of several hundred pages per dajf. 
The advantage of this process for this particular kind of work is not only that it 
is cheaper, but ahso that we furnish a sharp and deep electro-plate ready to be 
used the same as any other electrotype plate taken from a type form (for 
PATENT blocks), or mounted on wood blocks ready for the printer's use. 

ELECTROTYPING. 

We assert, with a degree of pride, that our facilities for the rapid and .satisfactory 
execution of Electrotyping cannot be equaled to-day by anj' other house. We 
have the largest bath.s, the best moulding facilities, andthe "only perfect metal- 
izing pi-ocess (our own invention), and the latest machines and appliances to be 
found in the counti-y for finishing plates. We are prepared to execute orders 
of any size or quantity with a speed, accuracy and finish such as uo other house 
can hope to rival, and at low prices. 

STEEL-FACING PROCESS. 

All half-tone plates etched on copper for art reproductions, book and catalogue 
illustrations, or duplicate electrotypes made from wood cuts and other engraved 
plates, are well known to run longer on steel-faced plates than on the ordinary 
electrotype. Jobs to be printed in red ink (a color that is injured in brilliancy 
by contact with copper), should also be steel-faced, this additional expense 
being only a fraction more than the price of ordinary plates. We recommend 
the facing of plates in the above cases as giving much more satisfaction. 
Samples of our work and estimates cheerfully furnished on application.

The Art of Winning Cases ; or Modern Advocacy. 

By HENRY HARDWICKE, of the New York Bar. 

IN this work the author has given many valuable suggestions upon preparation for trial 
and the conduct of cases in court. He has not confined himself to a bare statement of 

the rules which should guide the advocate in the trial of cases, but he has shown how 
Erskine, Scarlett, Daniel Webster, Rufus Choate, Henry Clay and many other great English 
and American advocates have put these rules into practice. 

The proper study of an Advocate is Advocacy. 

It is unquestionably true that advocacy is a subject which has been too much neglected 
of late. No matter how profound a lawyer's knowledge of the law may be, if he is not 
skilled in the art of presenting his arguments upon the law and the facts to court and jury, 
as well as in the difficult art of examining witnesses, he can never do his client justice. 
Many mortifying failures are daily made in our courts, simply because the lawyers who have 
failed are ignorant of the methods of preparing and trying cases, followed by the greatest 
and most successful advocates. These methods are clearly stated in this work. 

Hardwickes "Aft of Winning Cases" is an Octavo Volume of 700 Pages, in best 
Law Book Style. PRICE, $5.00 NET.

Fabric FtJ^e Hose Co. 



The Katoric Kire Hose Co., 13 Park Row, are the inventors and sole manu- 
facturers of a patented fire hose, known as the balanced-woven fabric, rubber-lined fire 
hose, adapted for fire protection in cities and for general mill use. They are also the originators 
of a process of rendering the fabric rot and mildew-proof by waxing the yarn, a very valu- 
able feature in a fire hose. The hose of this Company is found in nearly all of the tire de- 
partments of the large cities, the sales up to the present time amounting to nearly 5,500,000 
feet. This company supplied the World's Fair with 80,000 feet of fire hose, the contract 
having been awarded in competition with the entire world. 



Mechanical Rjibber Co. 



Tlie Meclianlcal Rubber Co., with offices at 15. Park Row, is the largest 
concern in the country in the mechanical rubber line. Its annual productions mount up into 
the millions, and embrace a very wide range of articles, such as belting, hose, packing gas- 
kets, mats, bicycle tires, tubing, valves, wringer rolls, etc. Factories located both East and West 
are thoroughly equipped with the most improved machinery and with every other facility for 
the economical production and distribution of goods. The hose, belting and packing of its 
manufacture, are made in two grades— "Amazon," the very best that the finest materials and 
workmanship can produce, and "Brazilian," a high grade brand, equal to the best produc- 
tions of most other makers. A strong recommendation in favor of these goods is the 
uniformity of excellence, a merit often lacking in the products of other makers. No pains or 
e.xpense are spared to keep up the highest standard of quality, a task less difficult for a com- 
pany so magnificently equipped than for others.

The New York "Press." 

In the four past issues of Printers' 
Ink a statement has been conspicu- 
ously published to the effect that the 
American Newspaper Directory for 
1894 accords to the New York Pri'ss a 
larger circulation rating than any other 
daily paper in New York City receives. 
Now the New York T'ri'ss does not 
claim to have the largest circulation of 
any daily paper in New York. That 
claim is put forth by the Sini, the [Ifnvs, 
the Herald and the' IVorhi. The inter- 
esting fact is that the 'Vrcss is the only 
one of the five that is willing to allow 
the public to know just what edition it 
actually has printed. By the Directory 
system of rating circulations, the letter 
" A " is the highest symbol accorded to 
any publication that declines or neglects 
to furnish information on the subject. 
It means exceeding 75,000 copies. All 
the four papers named above are rated 
"A," but the 'Press stands alone as the 
one willing to show the absolute facts ; it 
therefore gets credit for its actual aver- 
age issue of 111,812 copies per day 
throughout an entire year, and it ought 
to be mighty proud of the success it 
has achieved. -"/^;////t';'5' Inl;, may 2,1894.

THE new fourteen-story extension of the Vanderbilt 
Building, on the corner of Nassau and Beekman 
Streets, designed and constructed under the 
supervision of Messrs. McKim, Mead & White, archi- 
tects, is absolutely fireproof, and contains every known 
modern device for the comfort of tenants — electric 
lights, steam heating, Otis elevators, etc. Telephone 
service from each story to the Superintendent's office. 
The building has two entrances — one on Nassau Street 
and the other on Beekman Street. The hallways on 
every story are tiled with white marble; the offices kept 
thoroughly clean; no extra charge of any kind. . 
. . The proximity of the Vanderbilt Building to the 
Brooklyn Bridge, to the Court House, the City Hall, 
the Post-office and the great newspaper offices, together 
with its sunny offices and its exposure to the cool, south- 
westerly breezes of summer, make it a most desirable 
office building. The offices are subdivided to suit 
tenants, without charge. For particulars apply to . .

THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY. 

GENERAL DEPOSITORY, 10 EAST 23d ST. NEW BUILDING, NASSAU & BEEKMAN STS. 



r. Its Objfxts. The Society was organized seventy years ago, in 1825. 
Such men as Bishop Griswold, Drs. Spring, Milledoler, Milnnr, Baldwin, 
Edwards, and other eminent divines and laymen of many evangelical denom- 
inations, saw the need of harmony in preparing and circulating a gospel 
literature for the use of all Christians, and by the coalescing of various local 
societies this National Institution was formed. 

Its work has been conducted by three committees, the Publishing, Dis- 
tributing and Finance, with their several secretaries, supervised by the three 
united in its Executive Committee. 

Its work is on three main lines : sales of its publications by its store, in 
various depositories and through the trade ; sales and grants by its colporters; 
and grants to the destitute and to Christian workers at home, and aid to 
missionaries in many foreign lands. 

Its colportage, carrying the gospel in the most effective publications to 
destitute regions, largely at the west and south, is a work whose necessit}'- and 
usefulness cannot well be overestimated. The colpojter is a lay preacher as 
well as a salesman, and hundreds of Sunday-schools and churches have been 
started by them. 

The foreign missions of many denominations most gratefully welcome the 
invaluable aid of the Society in publishing books and tracts in 151 languages. 

2. The Publications of the Society, consisting of books, tracts, wall- 
rolls, cards, and periodicals, aggregate many millions of copies. They are 
adapted to the use of all ages and all classes of people, and in many languages. 
They are of a high standard of excellence in literary merit, engravings, 
material and workmanship, and are sold at reasonable rates. 

Some of its issues have attained a remarkably large circulation: its Bible 
Dictionary, 220,000 copies; Pilgrim's Progress, 453,000; Baxter's Call, 460,000; 
Nelson on Infidelity, 140,000; Songs for Little Ones at Home, 338,000; Peep 
of Day, 155,000; Dew Drops, 765,000; Daily Food, 511,000; Come to Jesus, 
746.000. Many of its tracts have reached a circulation of over a million copies 
each. Its periodicals are seven — four in English, two in German, three for 
children ; two weeklv.five monthly, and are as ioUo\\s:.4if!erican Messens;er, Child's 
Paper, Morning Light, Apples of Gold, Light and Life, Dattscher Volks-freund, 
and Amerikaniseher Botschafter. In addition to its circulation by colportage 
and grants, and from its general depositorv at 10 East 23d Street, it main- 
tains agencies or branches in Boston, Philadelphia, Rochester, Chicago, 
Cincinnati and San Francisco. 

3. The New Building is upon the site occupied by the Society since its 
organization. The lot is nearly 100 feet square. The structure rises twenty 
stories from Nassau Street, with a basement and cellar below, and a tower 
three stories above the main roof, covering about half the area. The height to 
the top of the tower is 291 feet, to top of the staff rising from the tower, 307 
feet. The depth of the excavation below the pavement is thirty-five feet, 
from which piles were driven below from ten to twent)'-five feet. 

The frame is of steel skeleton, lined with brick; the front wall for the first 
six stories is of granite, above which it will be brick and terracotta. 

The money needed for erecting the building has been obtained by mort- 
gaging the lot, so that the current operations of the Society will not be inter- 
rupted by this undertaking. There is good reason to hope that the gift of this 
ground to the Society by its founders will become the means of furnishing an 
endowment, which will supplement the gifts of its members and friends and be a 
pledge for the execution of any trusts committed to it by legacy or otherwise.

Chas. a. Schieren & Co. 

LEATHER BELTING 
AND Lace Leather Manufacturers. 



CHARLES A. SCHIEREN & CO., of Ferry and Cliff Streets, 
New York, are pre-eminent as manufacturers of leather belting and 
lace leather. Their factory is considered a model establishment in 
its line, because of its improved machinery and economic appliances. 
The firm owns a number of patents, granted on inventions by Mr. 
Schieren, and under them manufactures such specialties as Electric 
and Perforated Belting for use on dynamos and swift-running electric 
light machinery ; leather Link Belting, for use in mines and on 
machinery exposed to water ; and Planer Belting, suitable for wood- 
working machinery. The leather for Planer Belting is tanned with a 
view to flexibility and durability. La order to supply its factory with 
materials the firm operates its extensive oak leather tanneries at 
at Bristol, Tenn., which are in the heart of the oak bark region. 
The capacity of these tanneries is 60,000 hides per annum. It also 
operates the tannery at Adamsburg, Pa., and Lace Leather tannery 
in Brooklyn. 

Charles A. Schieren, the founder of the firm, was born in 
Rhenish Prussia, in 1842, and with his parents emigrated to this 
country in 1856. He had received a public school education in 
Germany. In his youth he assisted his father in conducting a cigar and 
tobacco business in Brooklyn. In 1864, as clerk he entered the ser- 
vice of Philip F. Pasquay, leather Inciting manufacturer of New York. 
By virtue of energy and close application he soon mastered the details 
of the business, and he became the manager of the establishment, on 
the death of his employer, in 1866. Two years later, with limited 
means, he set up his own establishment. In 1887 Mr. Schieren admit- 
ted as partner F. A. M. Burrell, who had been in his service as clerk 
for ten years. The firm has branch houses in Chicago, Boston and 
Philadelphia, and the products of its factory are shipped to all parts of 
the civilized world. Mr. Schieren was elected Mayor of Brooklyn by 
33,000 majority in Nov. '93 for two years. He was one of the founders 
of the Hide and Leather National Bank, and is now its Vice-President. 

The Leather Belting made by this house comprises every length 
and width, and also of heavy and light weights, as their users may 
recjuire. Whatever is not carried in general stock can readily be 
produced by the house of Charles A. Schieren & Co.

THE "GUARANTEED INCOME" POLICY-

Bradstreet's 

A name esteemed throughout the commercial and financial world. 

[A Sketch reprinted from " King's Handbook of New York."] 

The Bradstreet Company has achieved a wonderful work in relation to 
mercantile credit. Society studies into peoples' genealogies and characters ; 
the Church examines their creeds and practices ; and the mercantile world 
keenl\- scrutinizes their methods and responsibility. If these last named are 
worthy to establish credit, they must be reported by human action and personal 
judgment. The Bradstreet Company is practically a clearing house for all 
classes of information concerning mercantile affairs and mercantile credit, 
originated by and intended for business men throughout the world. Its infor- 
mation is obtained fromavast number of sources, competent, trustworthy, and 
ramifying everywhere, and in such close and confidential touch with The 
Bradstreet Company that the result is an immense array of digested facts as to 
business men, containing the detailed histories of more than 3,000,000 firms 
and individuals in active trade, at home and abroad. The object of search is 
the absolute truth as to each mercantile credit, and this is attained by a 
consensus of many impartial reports from honorable local observers, who also 
note each passing change, and the advance or falling back of the firm or the 
individual. With these facts in view, business ma\' be done with intelligence, 
and thereby with the reasonable assurance of success, and encouragement for 
the enlargement of enterprise and the development of trade. 

The massive quarto volumes of more than 2300 pages, which it publishes 
four times in every year, contain the estimated worth and recognized credit, 
business and address of more than a million of subjects, besides much other 
valuable information. Bradstreet's offices nearly compass the earth. That its 
mighty mission has been fulfilled with fidelity as to facts, conservatism as to 
judgment, and conscientiousness as to details, is proven by a record which 
challenges the attention and commands the respect of every person who has 
sought information through its channels or availed himself of its facilities for 
the investigation of personal credits. The Bradstreet Company is the oldest, 
and financially the strongest, organization of its kind working in the one 
interest and under one management. It has wider ramifications, with greater 
investment of capital, and expending more money every year for the collection 
and dissemination of information than any similar institution in the world. 
It has long been recognized and practically endorsed by the various de- 
partments of the government, as also by the highest local courts of the 
United States. 

This company publishes, under the name of Uraiht reel's, a sixteen-page 
weekly newspaper, which covers the condition of the crops and markets ; and, 
dealing as it does, with the news of commerce, finance and manufactures, 
'Bradstreet's occupies a unique place. It is impartial and unbiased, and is 
quoted the world over as an authority. An active department of this com- 
pany's business is the Bradstreet's bindery, which ranks with the most famous 
binderies of Paris and London. 

The Bradstreet Company has been an important factor in the develop- 
ment of the world's commerce for more than forty years, but its pre eminence 
began in 1876, under the presidency of Charles F. Clark. The executive and 
New-York offices are at 279, 281 and 283 Broadway.

Tefft, Weller & Co. 

Wholesale Dry Goods Merchants. 

[Reprinted from " King's Handbook of New York City."'] 

TKFFT, WELLER & CO., importers and jobbers of dry goods, of 326, 32S and 330 
Broadway, is one of the oldest and most widely esteemed houses in the wholesale 
dry-goods trade. Its members have been prominently identified with public 
intere.sts for the past fortj^ years. This busine.ss was founded January i, 1849, by 
Erastus T. Tefft ; and the firm name has been successivelj-, E. T. Tefft & Co ; Teffts, Gris- 
wold & Kellogg; Tefft, Griswold & Co.; and Tefft, Weller & Co. Through all these 
changes the house has been steadily advancing, enlarging its trade in all directions, and 
increasing its capital, facilities and force, as well as its experience. Its fovnider was a rare 
man. He was a man of quick perceptions and sound judgment. He was eminently just 
in all his ways. He was of a conservative disposition, yet was bold, courageous and daring 
when the occasion demanded these qualities. He was uniformly courteous, kind and 
gentle, and commanded the confidence and respect of all who knew him. Mr. Tefft died 
November 10, 1888, at the venerable age of 78 years. 

The present firm is composed of his two sons, William E. Tefft and Frank Griswold 
Tefft, George C. Clarke, John N. Beach and Morton D. Bogue. The firm name of Tefft, 
Weller & Co. is retained as a trade-mark ; there having been no Weller interests in the 
house since the death of Joseph H. Weller in 1886, two years previous to the death of E. T. 
Tefft. The firm occupies the entire seven floors of the spacious iron and granite-front 
building at 326, 328 and 330 Broadway, and three floors of No, 324, together with two floors 
of Nos. 320 and 322, making in the aggregate 166,250 square feet of floor space These vast 
areas are occupied by very full lines of the goods in which the house deals, admirably 
arranged and ordered. The Incation of Tefft, Weller & Co.'s buildings, on the east side of 
Broadway, between Pearl and Worth Streets, is in the midst of the great wholesale dry- 
goods trade. 

The business of the house is thoroughly .systematized, each partner giving to it his 
personal attention, in some special direction. The employees in all the depi^rtments 
number about four hundred and fifty. 

A large and well-assorted stock is kept at all seasons, comprising foreign and domestic 
dress goods, silks, velvets, hosiery, notions, white goods, linens, laces, shawls, cloaks, 
woolens, flannels, blankets, prints, ginghams, domestics, and an unusually large variety 
of carpets and mattings, floor oilcloths and upholstery goods. 

Acting not as commission merchants, but as direct traders, dealing with the chief man- 
ufacturers both at home and abroad, Tefft, Weller & Co. have peculiar advantages for the 
safe and favorable conduct of their business, and for its indefinite expansion, whenever 
occasion arises therefor. The choice.st products of the European looms and workshops are 
found in their vast stocks, as well as the output of hundreds of American factories, favored 
by the new birth of industrial activity in the United States. 

Tefft, Weller & Co enjoy facilities for .securing every possible advantage in the pur- 
chase of goods, both in home and foreign markets, and are always in a position to take 
excellent care of their customers — a fact which, judging from their constantly growing 
business, the trade njipreciate.

That is the number of copies already published, and that is, indeed, 
a great (juantity of a book. But that is the number now published 
of "KING'S HANDBOOK OF NEW YORK CITY." It has 
gone into every country on the globe. It is worth its cost to every 
New Yorker and all who live around New York. Anyone wanting 
to know anything about the Metropolis of America can find more 
text and a greater number of illustrations in this one book than in 
any other ten combined. It has 1008 handsomely printed pages, 
with 1029 photographic illustrations. It is substantially and beauti- 
fully bound. And yet it costs only Two Dollars. As Robert G. 
IngersoU says: " It is good enough for anybody, and cheap enough 
for everybody." MOSES KING, Publisher,

A Good Tiling is

who has lived in New York, or who has 
visited or wishes to visit the great metropolis, 
will find in

so much of interest and value that they will 
most cheerfully paj' its cost of $2.00 a copy 
when they have once seen the book. It is a 
superb volume of looS pages, containing 1029 
illustrations, is liandsomel^' printed and sub-

r. A. FERRIS & COMPANY. 

AMERICA'S WORLD-FAMOUS PACKING ESTABLISHMENT. 

[From " King's Handhook cjf Nkw York.'" J 
F. A. Terris & Coiiii)any, whose name is a household word in the homes of this 
nation, are conducting a gigantic business that was begun three-quarters of a century ago. 
In 1818, a stout German lad of nineteen years landed from a sailing vessel, and walked up 
Broadway without a penny in his pocket. Industry, integrity and economy soon enabled 
this newcomer, John J. Cape, to start a little provision shop, and so well did he prosper that 
when he was fifty years of age he retired from active business with a comfortable fortune. 
He took pride, however, in having his name remain in the succeeding firm of F. A. Ferris & 
Company until the day of his death. Through all the exacting war times and wonderful 
commercial changes since that day, the firm has steadily kept on its way, extending its 
business to every part of the world that imports fine provisi ins from the United States, at all 
times laying as the foundation of further success the crowding of their product towards 
absolute perfection. One of their maxims which has a popular ring, has become known to 

all Americans — 
" A little higher 

in price, but !" 

I heir establ is h - 
ment, 262, 264, 
j66, 2A8, 270 and 
_72 Mott Street, 
a plain, but sub- 
stantial brick,

within a most in- 
teresting combi- 
nation of all that 
science and expe- 
rience have 
Uiught concern- 
ing the fine cur- 
ing and smoking 
iii hams and 
bacon. The in- 
tricate processes 
of changing the 
fresh meats by 
what is known as 
"curing" into 

the smoked hams and bacon which can stand shipment to any ordinary climate, now depend 
fundamentally upon the production of cold by artificial means. One of the most charming 
machinery rooms of the country is found in their fire-proof building, where they have in 
duplicate the Pontifex Refrigerating Plant. The March, 1893, number of Scribner's Maga- 
zine, in an article entitled "Some Notable Food Products," gives a lucid description of the 
wonderful work accomplished by this mechanical system. The Ferris Building, standing 
on the back-bone of the lower part of New- York island, has three stories of cellars (excava- 
tions having been made thirty feet below the curb through a bed of fine cut sand and gravel), 
thus adding immensely to the storage capacity of the firm. It can justly be said that in the 
preparation of meat-foods this is a model establishment. The opposite page shows the 
Mott Street front of the packing establishment of F. A. Ferris & Company.

TO READERS. 

The aim is to make The Chiirclnimii an extremely acceptable paper at 
the fireside of every home in the land. Although it is the acknowledged rep- 
resentative of the Episcopal Church, its general news, literature, illustrations, 
stories, history, travels, discussions, editorials and other text, aside from its 
distinctive Church matters, make it one of the most voluminous and most 
valuable of all the weekly periodicals. As a Church paper it furnishes, aside 
from its general matters, an exhaustive report and review of everything of 
importance that transpires in connection with the Church in any part of the 
world. Its typography is excellent. It is published in magazine form once a 
week, and makes an annual issue of 2500 large quarto pages. Its writers are 
not amateurs, but scholars of the ripest and sincerest class. In quality and 
quantity it furnishes the greatest value possible for its subscription price of 
$3.50 a year. 

TO ADVERTISERS. 

The Chiii'chiimii, aside from its general constituency, is the leading, 
largest, and most widely circulated weekly paper in the Protestant Episcopal 
Church, which has over 5go,ooo communicants, 340,000 of whom reside in the 
New England and Middle States. Moreover, these communicants are the 
wealthy and intelligent people in their communities. There are many papers 
that boast of huge circulations, but it is difficult to find one the average intelli- 
gence of whose readers will compare with that of The Cliiiichiimii's regular 
subscribers. The advertising columns are constantly under the same super- 
vision as the text of the paper, to avoid, as far as possible, the misleading of 
its readers. Experienced advertisers know full well the value of its columns. 
As its rates are exceedingly moderate, considering the character of the paper, 
the extent and quality of its circulation, it maybe well to give its columns a trial.

are both treated in generous proportions in " King's Handbook of New

description of the present city of New York. 

Many matters just passing out of ihe recollection of the present gen- 
eration, such as the "Loew Bridge," as shown above, which had been 
erected at the crossing of Fulton Street and Broadway, to facilitate the 
traffic at that point, are told about in this book.

newly furnished and decorated throughout, and equipped with all 
modern conveniences, makes it one of the most comfortable and 
home-like Hotels in the Metropolis. 

The Union Square Hotel is run on the European plan and 
charges are moderate. For rates and full particulars, address,

THE WESTiMINSTER HOTEL, 

At Irving Place and Sixteenth Street— In One of the Quietest 
and Most Aristocratic Localities of New York. 



^^HE WESTMINSTER HOTEL, a picture of which is present- 
J^ ed on the opposite page, is situated at the corner of Irving 
Place and Sixteenth Street, one of the quietest and most 
aristocratic localities of New York. While this is the very centre of 
the Metropolis, being within a block of Union Square, where all the 
great retail stores, the fashionable promenades, the theatres and all 
the direct lines of transit by elevated and surface roads find a 
nucleus, the immediate surroundings of Irving Place are as peaceful 
as a suburban resort. The advantages of such a location are obvi- 
ous. To escape the bustle, din and confusion that characterize the 
great thoroughfares of New York and yet be in the midst of the 
shopping and amusement centres, constitute an attraction which no 
visitor can afford to ignore. 

The Westminster, by reason of its quiet elegance, superior 
cuisine and liberal management, has always enjoyed a high rep- 
utation among the old established first-class New York hotels. Its 
many points of superiority are often quoted by the press of the coun- 
try. The house has always been distinguished for its exclusiveness and 
homelike atmosphere. A notable feature are its arrangements for the 
accommodation of families with children and attendants in the West- 
minster apartment house which adjoins and connects with the hotel. 

Although one of the oldest hostelries in New York, The West- 
minster, under the progressive spirit and liberal management of Mr. 
E. N. Anable, the proprietor, has always kept apace with the trend of 
modern innovation, improvements and luxuries. One of its latest 
attractions is an exquisitely furnished coffee and smoking room fitted 
up in Oriental style and illuminated at night by tiny electric lights 
covered by red shades, where guests of both sexes may retire, and 
while the women sip their after-dinner coffee the men may indulge 
in post-prandial cigars or cigarettes. 

The Westminster is one of the few remaining first-class hotels con- 
ducted on the American plan, with rates that are exceptionally reason- 
able in proportion to the many attractions and the excellence of the table. 

The advantages of living on the American plan while in a 
strange city are many, chief among them being the ability to bring 
one's living expenses down to a lower figure than the European plan 
will permit, and to know in advance the daily living expenses.

THE 



Churches 

OF 

New York. 




The chapter on the churches 
of New York in "King's Hand- 
book" contains more than one 
hundred pictures of the repre- 
sentative churches of every 
denomination. And besides 
giving a condensed history of 
all the various denominations, 
it gives a brief history and 
description of about one hun- 
dred and fifty different churches. 
This chapter alone is said to be 
worth the whole price of " King's Handbook," and yet it is only 
one out of thirty such chapters, each comprising an entirely dif- 
ferent topic. And the one hundred churches are only a part of 
the 1029 photographic illustrations which are embodied in the 1008 
handsomely printed pages. Send two dollars for "King's Handbook 
of New York City," and if you are not satisfied with it you can get 
your money refunded.

The Fowler & Wells Co. 



SCIENTISTS AND PUBLISHERS. 

[Reprinted from " King's Handbook of New York City."] 

The Fowler & Wells Company is a scientific institution that has a 
world-wide reputation. For nearly sixty years its founders and owners have 
maintained an othce in the city of New York, and have been the recognized 
leaders in the phrenological, physiological and hygenic sciences, and for half 
a century they have been the main educators in these branches of useful study. 
They are classed in a business way as phrenologists and publishers, but they 
might well be called a scientific and educational institution. They occupy the 
building at 27 East 21st Street, near Broadwa3^ where is carried on the work 
inaugurated by Orson S. Fowler and Lorenzo N. Fowler in 1835. These men 
were the first in America to give the science of phrenology a practical value 
by making special delineations of character. They began work in a small 
wa)^ but steadily increased its scope. In 1843 they were joined by Samuel R. 
Wells, who subsequently married Charlotte Fowler, the sister of his partners. 
In course of time both the Fowlers withdrew from the house. Orson, who 
was one of the most famous phrenologists of the world, died in 1887. 
Lorenzo still practices his profession in London. Mr. Wells conducted the 
business of the original house until his death, in 1875, and his widow, Charlotte 
F. Wells, assumed the management until 1884. Then the Fowler & Wells 
Company was incorporated which now has as officers Charlotte Fowler Wells, 
President ; Nelson Sizer, Vice-President and phrenological examiner; Dr. H. 
S. Drayton, Secretary; Dr. Edgar C. Beall, general editor of the company's 
publications ; and W. L. Baner, Treasurer and business manager. The Com- 
pany publishes The Phrenological Journal, of which the ninet3'-eighth 
volume has just been completed, a number of serial publications, and a 
large list of standard works on phrenology, physiognomy, ethnology, physi- 
ology, psychology and hygiene. 

It has handsome business offices and spacious editorial rooms, lecture- 
rooms and phrenological parlors, where examinations are made, and charts 
given daily, indicating choice of pursuit, means of culture, etc. An outgrowth 
of the business of the concern is the American Institute of Phrenology, which 
was incorporated as an educational institution in 1866. Among the original 
incorporators were Horace Greeley, Rev. Dr. Samuel Osgood, Judge Amos 
Dean, Henry Dexter, Samuel R. Wells, Lester A. Roberts, Edward P. Fowler, 
M. D., and Nelson Sizer. Each year, beginning on the first Tuesday in 
September, a course of instruction in practical phrenology is given b}' a corps 
of experts under the direction of Prof. Sizer, the President of the Institute. 
An interesting feature in the lecture-room of the Fowler & Wells Company's 
building is a large collection of casts of the heads of people who have been 
prominent in various ways in past years ; also, skulls from many nations and 
tribes, as well as animal crania, illustrative of phrenology, and constituting 
a free public museum, and material for instruction in the Institute.

[PHOTOGRAVURES IN COLORS.! 

PHOTOGRAVURERS are of all classes of 
subjects. An important modification of this 
process has recently been perfected (patent 
applied for), by which the delicacy of the 
Gelatine print'is maintained, at the same 
time that great strength and color is pro- 
duced in the shadows. The plates thus 
made are very durable, and show but little 
wear after many thousands of impressions 
have been produced. Moreover, they re- 
quire no finishing or handling after having 
been etched, and are quite easily printed. 

AQUARELLES are printed from Photo- 
gravure plaies, inked up locally in a variety 
of colors. When the whole of the plate has 
been so inked, the impression is pulled. 
The results are beautiful, but the process of 
printing is exceedingly slow, three or four 
impressions a day, only, being obtainable 
from a moderate sized plate.

CHROME-GELATINE is a perfected modifi- 
cation of the three-color printing process. 
It is so named from the Gelatine process of 
printing being used to produce the resulting 
pictures, which are allowed to be really won- 
derful, which may be reproductions from 
original oil paintings, water colors, views 
from nature, objects from still life, textile 
fabrics, indeed all classes of work copied 
from originals in color. The results, in all 
cases, are produced froin three-color nega- 
tives. Artists whose works have been 
reproduced by this method, express their 
satisfaction of the results in the highest 
terms, without qualification.

been received at THK FIFTH AVENUE. Beginning with the Prince of Wales 
in i860, a never-ending procession of the jrreat men of this and other countries has 
marched through its corridors. Presidents of the United States, United States Senators, 
Congressmen, Governors, Judges, Generals, Admirals, Emperors, Princes, foreign Ambas- 
sadors, untitled men and women of renown ; the list would fill a volume. During the war 
period the Fifth Avenue was aflame with patriotism. At every moment of popular excite- 
ment its corridors were thronged. Army and navy officers and the civil leaders congregated 
there, and troops to and from the front were entertained. More peaceful times witnessed 
other scenes. At the famous Peabody dinner there, in 1867, the movement for the nomina- 
tion of Grant was started. The Emperor Dom Pedro, of Brazil, held court there. Prince 
Nareo, Crown Prince of Siam, was entertained in 1884; and in 1881 Prince Napoleon, son of 
" Plon Plon," and heir-apparent to the throne of France. President Arthur there received 
the Corean Embassy in 1883. The Arcadian Club gave its great reception to Charlotte 
Cushman on the occasion of the tragedienne's retirement from the stage. In 1883 Prince 
Augustine de Iturbide of Mexico, the Marquis of Lome and the Malagasy Envoys from 
Madagascar were there. In the previous year came the Chinese Embassy; and in 1887 the 
Prince Devowongse of the Siamese royal family and four sons of the King were entertained. 
These are but a few names picked from hundreds equally distinguished. At the time of 
the Yorktown celebration, the French and the German delegations to this country fraternized 
there. At the Centennial of 1876, the Brooklyn Bridge opening, the one hundredth anni- 
versary of the institution of the United Slates Supreme Court, the Washington Centennial 
in 1889, the funeral days of Grant, Arthur and Sherman, the laying of the corner stone of 
the Grant monument — the story is always the same, of the concentration at the Fifth Avenue 
of the most distinguished participants in the event, from the President and his Cabinet 
down. The London 'limes, in speaking of the gathering at Grant's funeral in 1885, said that 
it was the most noted assembly of distinguished Americans ever brought together, and the 
same description would apply to many another occasion there. From all this it has come 
that the Fifth Avenue is a sort of clearing-house for the city, the nation and the world. 
Everybody who wishes to keep in touch with the men of the day must frequent its corri- 
dors, and on occasions of political excitement, financial crises and startling events, it is the 
center of information and interest. There are other kinds of patronage to the house. 
Bankers and men of affairs congregate there to evolve and develop financial enterprises, and 
associations in many branches of production and trade hold their meetings there. And such 
IS the size and arrangement of the house that the quiet home-like character is always main- 
tained, removed from and undisturbed by its more public functions, and particularly agree- 
able to the many ladies and families who come there. Both location and management have 
contributed to this prosperity. The house fronts upon Madison Square, the most charming 
of the smaller parks of the city, at the junction of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, the two 
great thoroughfares. It covers eighteen city lots, more ground than any other metropolitan 
hotel, and is unequalled in the number and spaciousness of its corridors, halls and public 
rooms and the commodious character of its guest-rooms. Spread out over so much ground, 
there is an agreeable air of roominess in the Fifth Avenue. The second floor, with its mag- 
nificent arrangement of parlors, foyer and grand dining-room, is unequalled elsewhere. 
The management of the hotel (Hitchcock, Darling & Co.) has not changed since it was 
opened in 1859. The house abundantly deserves the praise which James T. Fields once 
recorded as having been unanimously bestowed upon it by a party of veteran travelers, of 
being "the best hotel in the world."

T§p Hoffman Housf, 

MADISON SQUARE, 
NEW YORK. 

Qpenincj, ^irst Pay of January, ^895. 



THIS well-known Hostelry was reopened the first day of 
Januar}', 1895. During the preceding six months the es- 
tablishment was rebuilt and modernized, so that in all its nu- 
merous appointments it compares favorably with any hotel__in 
the world. 

THE Hoffman House fronts on Broadway and Madison 
Square, enjoying the most delightful and important location 
in this city, in the midst of the great shopping and amusement 
district. Its location is unsurpassed, and the management feel 
that they can extend to ladies and families many conveniences 
and comforts not found elsewhere. 



THE New Addition to the Hofi'man is ten stories in height 
and of steel and marble, and in all respects in keeping with 
the rest of the property. In re-building it was designed that 
guests should have perfect security from fire, and with that in 
view, the laundry, boilers, steam engines and dynamos were re- 
moved from the Hotel to premises on Twenty-fourth Street pur- 
chased expressly for that purpose. 

THE Refrigerating Plant is of the most approved order, and 
capable of making twenty tons of pure ice daily. The entire 
plumbing system was newly constructed according to the latest 
sanitary requirements. 

ELECTRIC LIGHTS are used exclusively, and generated by 
a plant of capacity of six thousand lights. Telephones for 
convenience of guests connect the main Hotel office with every 
hallway throughout the Hotel. Turkish and Russian baths on 
the premises.

Grand Union Hotel, 

OPPOSITE THE GRAND CENTRAL STATION, NEW YORK. 



[Reprinted from "King's Handbook of New York City."] 

The Grand Union Hotel (European Plan) is located at Fourth Avenue 
and 42d Street, just across the street from the Grand Central Station. It is 
architecturally unassuming, but it is very large, its dimensions being 200 by 
135 feet. It contains over 500 sleeping-rooms, and does the largest business 
of any hotel in New York in respect to the number of guests entertained. 
The features which first strike the visitor to the hotel are its cleanliness and 
quaintness, and an air of home comfort which is lacking in many hotels. 
The walls of the public rooms are covered with paintings, mostl}' by 
American artists, of a high order of excellence. There are also a number 
of examples of foreign schools, purchased by the proprietors at the Paris 
Salon. One of the cafes is devoted to curious old colored prints, and another 
to prints relating to the early history of New York. Several large rooms 
on the ground fl"or are set apart for reading and writing, and are abun- 
dantly supplied with stationery, books, papers and illustrated periodicals. 
This is a popular feature with the traveling public, who appreciate having 
a comfortable place in which to lounge, read and write. The hotel has the 
reputation of being one of the most profitable in the country. 

Simeon Ford, the senior proprietor, having been asked to account for 
the continued and growing success of the Grand Union, in spite of the 
building of many new and elegant hotels, said : " In the first place, we have 
a location which, for transient business, is unique. We are just across the 
street from the Grand Central Station, and travelers, instead of having to 
struggle with hackmen and expressmen, can step across to our house, and 
we deliver their baggage in their rooms in a few minutes without charge. 
Then, again, we have a moderate-priced house. We give a nice room for a 
dollar a day, but, if people want to pa)' more, we have handsome suites 
which cost four or five dollars a day. Our food is of the best quality 
obtainable, and well-cooked ; and we don't ask enough for it to bankrupt 
a man. We are cranks on the subject of cleanliness. We are eternally 
scrubbing and mopping. Then again we are within easy distance of all 
the best shops and theatres. But, above all, we attribute our success to 
the fact that we try to take good care of our guests and make them feel 
at home, and we try our best to impress upon our employees that we get 
our living out of the traveling public, and that they are entitled to some 
consideration, and when our employees do not agree with us on this point 
we ask them to 'seek fresh fields and pastures new'."

POTTIER & STYMUS CO. 

High Art Furniture, Furnishings and Decorations. 

Pettier & Stymus Company is one of the best known houses in their 
line. Their reputation is world renowned, their business extending from New 
York to California, and the\' have also had extensive dealings with patrons in 
Europe. The superior grades of furniture and woodwork which they manu- 
facture have made them famous. The articles which they manufacture are 
made from designs of their own, the production of the most skilled artists and 
artisans, or from designs of architects. 

Their factory and warerooms are situated at the northeast corner of Forty- 
first Street and Lexington Avenue, and are the most complete of their kind in 
the United States. The buildings are of brick and iron and completely fire- 
proof, well-lighted and equipped with facilities that are unsurpassed for the 
manufacture of their high grade work. One of the chief advantages of having 
the warerooms and factory combined is that a personal supervision can be 
given by the different heads of the company to all work during its progress, 
from inception to finish, and they are also enabled to reduce the cost of their 
manufacturing to a minimum. 

Among many of the richest and finest private residences in America that 
have been furnished by this company can be mentioned those of Henry M, 
Flagler, William Rockefeller, J. A. Bostwick, John D. Archbold, Wallace C. 
Andrews, Fred. T. Steinway, and M. C. D. Borden, of New York ; George 
Westinghouse, Jr., of Pittsburgh and Lenox; Robert Pitcairn, of Pittsburgh; 
William Williams, Myron P. Brush and William G. Fargo, of Buffalo ; Mark 
Hopkins, Leland Stanford, James Flood, Charles Crocker and Henry J. 
Crocker, of San Francisco; Mrs. C. H. Strong, of Erie, Pa., and Mrs. N. 
Willis, of Galveston, Tex. 

They have also contributed greatly to the furnishing and decorating of the 
large hotels of New York and other cities — the Fifth Avenue, Savoy, Plaza, 
and Astor's magnificent new Hotel Waldorf. In the latter they furnished the 
celebrated State Apartments which were occupied by the Duke of Veragua in 
1893; also the Renaissance, Colonial, Empire and other suites, which are 
regarded as the most sumptuously furnished and decorated hotel rooms on 
either continent. The principal part of the celebrated Ponce de Leon Hotel 
at St. Augustine was furnished by them, and also the grand staircase in the 
Ro3'al Poinciania Hotel, Lakevvorth, Florida. 

The principal rooms in the President's Palace, at Chepultepec, ISIexico, 
were furnished by this company, against competition from France and England. 

The business was founded in 1856 by Auguste Pottier and William P. 
Stymus, and in 1871 it was merged into a corporation. The present oflficers 
are William P. Stymus, Jr., President, son of William P. Stymus, one of the 
founders of the original house ; Frank R. Pentz, Vice-President and Treasurer ; 
and William P. Stymus, Secretary. 

There is a growing desire for individuality and distinction in decoration 
and furniture. A wide scope for originality and beauty in such things is 
offered by such a concern as Pottier & Stymus Co. It gives a much needed 
relief from the stereotyped designs of ready-made furniture, which is of 
necessity designed and made to please the great number of people. In such a 
case there can be no other distinct style adopted, and the result is the mongrel 
and commonplace production. 

Just as essential as an architect in the placing and construction of the structure 
is the artist in the designing and manufacturing of the furnishing and decora- 
tions. In this latter field stands pre-eminent the house of Pottier & Stymus Co.

MISS BROWN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS 

Located at 713, 715 and 717 Fifth Avenue, 

BETWEEN 55TH AND 56TH STREETS. 



[t is conducted by Miss Annie Brown, a graduate of Vassar, and one of 
the most capable educators in tliis field of work. In all the improved methods 
of education and the demands of a progressive period, this school stands in the 
front rank. Its aim is to provide thorough systematic training. There may 
be differences of opinion as to what subjects should be taught ; there can be 
little question as to the requirements for good teaching in any line. Parents 
have the right to expect that a school should give habits of intelligent study, 
promptness, and accuracy of thought and speech. Every department is 
provided with a competent and experienced teacher, possessing the highest 
grade of qualifications. In that of modern languages six native instructors 
are employed and five in the college preparatory course. There are twenty- 
live instructors in all, at the head of whom presides Miss Brown. 

Three courses of study are open : the regular course to graduation, the 
preparatory course to Vassar, Radcliff'e, Barnard, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr and 
Smith, and the special course for those who have graduated elsewhere, or who 
desire to stud)^ special branches. Careful attention is given each student, 
and her peculiar aptitudes and tastes are studied and developed. No strict 
rules are made to hamper the pupil's advancement — no marks or awards given 
or punishments inflicted — but each is made to feel that the good name of the 
school rests with her to maintain. About 150 pupils are annually enrolled. 
They are drawn not only from New York City and its environments but from 
every quarter of the United States. At frequent intervals the boarders visit 
the Lenox Library, the Art Museum, Museum of Natural History, the 
Academ)' of Design and other museums and galleries. 

Thorough work is done in the primary and preparatory departments 
where the pupils are day scholars who expect to complete the course. 
Through their consistent development Miss Brown aims at a high standard 
in all the advanced classes, for the strength of the school lies in the unity of 
the dav-school.

What is Home without 



Ul/inri' 



King's Handbook of New York City?" 



A T its small cost 3'ou can find no article of ornament or pleasure 
which gives to the whole household so much information, grati- 
fication and relaxation as is afforded by a copy of " King's Handbook 
of New York City." Not only the folks at home, but your guests and 
your visitors will heartily enjoy it. It costs only two dollars, and 
after it has been in the house awhile each member of the family will 
know more about the city in which you live and of which you are a 
part than the whole combined family knew before. It is not a mere 
glimpse at the city; it is a thorough and accurate description of the 
whole metropolis arranged into chapters by tojiics, which are subdi- 
vided into paragraphs by institutions or subjects, and at the close is 
an elaborate alphabetically arranged index, giving instant access to 
any bit of desired information. Embodied in these 1008 ])ages of 
information, historical and descriptive, are 1029 photographic illus- 
trations, which never fail to interest old and young people, for it 
instantly makes known to them buildings, views and institutions which 
they would otherwise pass by unnoticed. Just as one who is unable 
to distinguish between the thousands of shades, colors, shapes and 
varieties of the foliage or flowerage and other bits of nature, fails to 
find delight in the country, so, too, the resident or visitor who does 
not know the thousands of objects of interest of every conceivable 
character, is not likely to find delight in the city. Know your city 
and its wonders, and you must surely take pride in being a citizen. 
Get " King's Handbook " and you will soon know your city.

New York's Newest, Daintiest and most Charming Hotel 

THE MARIE ANTOINETTE, 

GRAND BOULEVARD AND SIXTY-SIXTH STREET, 
NEW YORK. 



AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN PLANS. 



ABSOLUTELY FIRE-PROOF. 



A. EUGENE KIRBY, Proprietor. 



Note. — The New York Ti-ibune recently 
gave a two-ccilumn description of the new- 
est of the grand New York Hotels — The 
Marie Antoinette. Here it is only pos- 
sible to reprint the headlines and a few 
extracts of the T>ibune''s description : 



HOTEL MARIE ANTOINETTE. 



The Charm and Refinement of Versailles 
Translated to Manhattan Island. 



A New White Palace which at least realizes 
the Ideals of Discriminating New Yorkers. 



An inadequate description of a Beautiful 
Structure. 



'A new structure has recently been com- 
pleted in New York which has benefited 
by a happy inspiration. Marie Antoinette 
was a brilliant, beautiful woman, but she 
was a home-loving queen. The hotel, 
which has been so fittingly named after 
her, and in illustration of all that is most 
e-xquisite in life, realizes the best ideas of 
art and comfort. 

"Approaching the Hotel Marie Antoi- 
nette from the Sixty-sixth Street station of 
the Elevated Road, the effect produced 
upon the observer is that of some beau- 
tiful building from the White City of the 
World's Fair. The proportions of the 
building are such as to give the effect of 
lieight, without appenring to scrape the 
sky, and standing on the corner with ample 
frontage, both on the Boulevard and Sixty- 
sixth Street, it is massive and substantial. 

" The Tribune man, as he passed through 
the beautiful wrought-iron gates into the 
main hall which led to the restaurant and 
dining-room on the right, and the private 
dining-room, ante-chamber and drawing- 
room on the left, was fairly at a loss where 
to begin his description of a unique edifice. 
It is obvious at a glance that the most 
lavish expenditure had been made to bring 



about a consistent application of the best 
art principles adapted to the conveniences 
and requirements of modern life. 

"Take, for instance, the main dining- 
room. Is there just such a room in all New 
York, and, indeed, anywhere.' A room 
neither too square nor too long, supported 
by columns of colored alabaster, heightened 
with gold Corinthian capitals. The color 
scale of the walls, modulating through suc- 
cessive tints of rose and crush strawberry, 
suitably harmonized from ceiling to floor, 
diffuses the brightest kind of rose-colored 
light suddenly relieved by the rich dark 
green of the portieres which shut off the 
street. These portieres, serving in them- 
selves an eminently useful purpose, also 
suf^gest and introduce the contrast between 
the dining-room and the drawing-room, 
which has already been given a name — the 
Oak Room. 

" The Oak Room of the Hotel Antoinette 
will long be one of the things to see in 
New York. Every piece is an heirloom. 
What would not Henry Irving give for 
even two or three of these old "pieces," 
some of them costing a small fortune, with 
which to stage the palace of the king in 
some play of Shakespaare ? But, beautiful 
as they are, they serve a fundamental pur- 
pose. The oak room suggests the repose 
of home, just as the dining-room, in rose 
and gold, suggests the gayety of social life 
in this great commercial city of ours, fast 
becoming the greatest commercial city of 
the world. 

" What should be said of the restaurant, 
which is only second to the dining-room in 
impiirtance because of being somewhat 
smaller in size? Here the same charm of 
color and ot light. You feel that this room 
is a little cosier, perhaps, than the dining- 
hall, l)ut it IS quite up to the standard, and 
that is saying a good deal. A unique fea- 
ture of the restaurant, and one which gives 
its own character to the total effect, is the 
introduction of shaded electric lamps, com- 
ing up through the middle of each table, 
like flowers of light. The value of light, 
and as much light as possible, has been 
fully appreciated by the experienced men 
who have planned and carried out the 
Hotel Marie Antoinette."

COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, 209 EAST 23d STREET 
toLD BUILDING, OCCUPIED UNTIL I894X 



HIS useful institution is of interest not 
only for its prominence among scientific 
schools, but as the incentive to essential 
reforms in the practice of phnrmacy, and in the 
thorough education of men to compound and 
dispense medicines throughout the land. The 
College of Pharmacy was founded in 1829 and 
incorporated in 1S31. For many years it occupied 
a building in 23d Street, but in 1894 it began 
to occupy its present commodious, well-equipped, 
modern fire-proof edifice on 68th Street, near the 
Boulevard. It originated in modest beginnings 
and slowly developed through the unaided efforts 
of a small group of .earnest New York druggists, 
many of whom have now passed away. It was 

t. H B :. maintained in spite of many difficulties and dis- 

■^ I W couragements, and stands to-day as an enduring 

monument of the patience and perseverance of 
the founders and the liberality and ability of their 
successors. Years ago the application of tests in 
due course by a student, who has since filled the 
p)resident'3 chair, led to the discovery of the most 
audacious frauds by some unprincipled importers and wholesalers, who supplied the western 
and southern druggists. The members, espousing the cause of pure drugs, promoted to the 
presidency the one who, from purely philanthropic motives, had besn most active in ferret- 
ing out these frauds, and against whom the guilty parties instituted suits for his action, 
although he waged war solely against a flagrant abuse and not at all against individuals. 
During his presidency the College was actively instrumental in bringing about the benefi- 
cent law of 1848, prohibiting the importation of adulterated, deteriorated, inferior or 
spurious drugs. To enforce these he called the committees in 1851 that initiated the 
American Pharmaceutical Association, which now has 1600 members. 

The principles enunciated by this College in its requirements for graduation, and in 
its code of ethics, have been generally adopted by other pharmaceutical bodies. It partici- 
pates regularly in the decennial revi.sion of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia. In 1883 it promulgated 
the N. Y. and Brooklyn Formulary, which has been further elaborated to form the " National 
Formulary," published by the American Pharmaceutical Association. A brilliant record, 
especially for so modest an institution that few e.xcept those concerned know of its existence. 
The officers for the current year are as follows: President, Semuel W. Fairchild ; Vice- 
Presidents, Prof. Charles F. Chandler, George Massey and John Caswell ; Treasurer, 
Horatio N. Fraser ; Secretary, J. Niven Hegeman ; and Trustees, Charles Holzhauer, Wm. 
M. Massey, Wm. Jay Schieffelin, Charles F. Schleussner, Henry Schmid, Samuel J. Bendiner, 
Theodore Louis, Thomas F. Main, Domingo Peraza, Reuben R. Smith, Hermon W. Atwood, 
Thomas J. Macmahan, Gustavus Ramsperger, Charles Rice, George B. Wray. The faculty 
comprises ten members, including four professors— Charles F. Chandler, Arthur H. Elliott, 
Henry H. Rusby, Virgil Coblentz — and six instructors, besides whom there are many special 
lecturers. The institution covers a complete course, theoretical and practical, and the lec- 
tures, quizzes and laboratory work include all the important subjects necessary or desirable 
for the pharmacist.

ADVANTAGES Of 

Warren's Anchor Brand 
Natural Asphalt Roofing 

OVER — 

COAL TAR ROOFING. 

First; — Very mucli greater durability, caused principally by the fact that the oils in the 
Asphalt are non-volatile at any natural temperature, and the Anchor Brand Cement, there- 
fore, does not dry up and become brittle under exposure to sun and air, as Coal Tar Pitch does, 
in which the oils are very volatile. 

Second : — The Anchor Brand Cement will not run, it being less affected by the heat of the 
sun than Coal Tar Pitch. 

Third: — The Anchor Brand Cement has more body than Coal Tar Pitch, and is a very 
much stronger and more tenacious cement. 

FoiiRTH : — An Anchor Brand roof emits no disagreeable odor, and does not injure rain 
water. 

Advantages of Warren's Anchor Brand Natural Asphalt Roofing 

OVER TIN ROOFING. 

CHE APIS ESS. 

First:— The first cost of the Anchor Brand roof is less. While tin roofs are offered in all 
parts of the country at from $4.00 to $9.00 per square, the best grades of tin plate cannot be laid 
for less than the latter figure. 

Second : — The Anchor Brand Roof requires no e.xpense for its continued preservation, 
while tin must be frequently painted. 

Third :— The cost of painting a tin roof during its lifetime, added to the already greater 
tirst cost, makes it far more expensive than an Anchor Brand roof for the same length of time. 

DITRABII.IXY. 

First: — An Anchor Brand roof is not injuriously affected by the changes in temperature, 
while the contraction and expansion of a tin roof under similar circumstances are often sufficient 
to cause it to buckle, and leak at the seams. 

Second : — An Anchor Brand roof requires no attention to insure its durability. A tin roof, 
on the contrary, should the painting be neglected, rapidly deteriorates. 

Third : — An Anchor Brand roof, where subjected to gases, acids or moisture from beneath, 
is far more durable than a tin roof, which, under these conditions, is almost worthless. 

Fourth :— An Anchor Brand roof is more substantial than a tin roof, and less easily injured 
by being walked upon, and by other external causes. 

Fifth : — An Anchor Brand roof offers a much more thorough protection from fire either 
from within or without the building than does a tin roof, as the latter quickly unsolders, admit- 
ting a draft of air, while the former remains perfectly air tight.

Gentlemen: -- 

This is to certify that this piece of roof was 
cut from the roof of the West Shore Railroad freight house. Pier 
2, Weeliawken, N. J., on April 4th, 1893. This building was covered 
in the Summer of 1882 with Warren's Anchor Brand Natural Asphalt 
Roofing; it has thus stood the wear of eleven years, has given 
perfect satisfaction, and is now in excellent condition. 

Two Pier Sheds were covered with this material, one is 20O 
by 775 and the other is 200 x 1350. 

Both roofs are in good condition, and to all appearances are 
likely to last from ten, to fifteen years longer. The asphalt roof- 
ing cement retains its elastic qualities to a remarkable extent. 



Approved,

COMMISSIONERS' CERTIFICATE. 

New YORK CITY, November 28, 1894. 

We, the Insurance Commissioners and Superintendents of the States ot Massachusetts, Illinois, 
Kansas, Keniucl(y, Missouri, Ohio and Texas, pursuant to the invitation ol the President of the Company, 
dated June 1, 1894, do hereby certify that we have been for the past four months engaged in a thorough 
and searching official investigation into the affairs of the New York Life Insurance Company of the City 
of New York. 

We further certify that each Stock and Bond owned, each Collateral Loan, each Bond and Mort- 
gage Loan made, the Cash and each Bank Certificate ot Deposit, was carefully examined, checked and 
veriHed ; that the Pulley Loans and Premium Notes were examined and checked with the Reserve on 
each Policy ; that Interest and Rents due and accrued, unreported and Deferred Premiums, were also verified ; 
that the values of Stocks and Bonds owned, and Real Estate owned, were individually and closely 
scrutinized and conservatively made; that the title to each piece of property secured, and Bond and 
Mortgage Loan made since the 1891 New York State Insurance Department Investigation, was examined 
and found satisfactory. That the Policy Reserve was checked and verified by the Actuaries of our 
several State Insurance Departments, and that every Policy and its Reserve, on the books of the Com- 
pany, was checked individually with the Valuation Policy Registers of the Massachusetts Department; 
that all Sundry Liabilities were also verified; that each debit and credit entry in the Company's books 
was checked from the date of the said New York State Investigation; and that as a result, on the 
most conservative basis of valuation, we found the Company possessed of ASSISXS satisfactory 
to «.. amounting to $155,453,438.73 

And that, after providing for all possible Liabilities, including $135,058,291.00 for outstanding
